BEER-PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part Vof Letters Patent No. 342,901, dated June 1.1886.

Application iilcd December 22, 1885. Serial No. 186,422. (No model),

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARK L. DEERING, of Cleveland, in the county ofCuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Beer-Pumps; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and usethe same.

My invention relates to improvements in beer-pumps in which a faucitmade double or quadruple, as the case may be, according to the number ofbarrels that it is desired to draw from, is operated by a singleair-pump.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation showing the rearof an air-pump and double faucet and the air and beer pipes leading totwo barrels, portions beingin section to show theinternal construction.Fig.2 is an elevation, partly in section, showing the manner ofattaching` the air-pump and faucet separately to the ice-box or othersupport. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the air-pump and faucet combined.Fig. .4 is an elevation in section showing the construction of thevalves of the air-pump. Fig. 5 is an elevation in section showing amodified form of air-valve. Fig. 6 is an elevation in section of adoubleor twoway 7 faucet. Fig. 7 is an elevation in section of a quadruple orfour-way77 faucet. Fig. 8 is a horizontal section on the line :c x, Fig.7. Fig. 9 is an elevation in section on the line of y y, Fig. 7.

A represents the cylinder of the air pump, and B the barrelof thefaucet.The faucet and pump may be connected, as shown in Figs. l and 3, thereceiving-disk b of the faucet being integral with the forward head ofthe pumpcylinder; or the pump and faucet may be separate and secured atdifferent points to the partition D of the ice-box or other support, asshown in Fig. 2. The rear head of the airpump is provided with bosses cand c, that are screw-threaded externally for receiving the caps a2,said caps inclosing` air-chambers, respectively, c and c'. A port orpassage-way,

ci, leads from .the outside of the boss c to the induction-valve d, thatdischarges air into the chamber c, from which leads the passage-way c3into the cylinder A. A passage-way, c, leads from the cylinder to theeduction-valve d', that ive'tubes g, that lead to the faucet.

discharges into the chamber c', from which leads the passage-way e',branching into as many nozzles E as there are barrels that are to besupplied with air-pressure. From the nozzles E lead pipes E', thatdischarge into the different barrels. Stop-valves F may be connectedwith each pipe E', so that air may be shut oft' from the differentbarrels when desired. Each air-tube E may have a checkyvalve, FF, one ofwhich in Fig. lis shown in section, the construction of the same beingsimilar to the valves j ust described. The pipes E are connected withthe plugs G, that have small orifices (not shown) for admitting the airinside the barrels. With the plugs G are connected, respectively, thetubes G', that extend to the bottom of the barrels. These latter tubesare in open relation with the respect- The tubes g connect withdifferent nozzles E of the disk b, and are respectively in open relationwith the respective passage-ways b2, that lead through the barrel of thefaucet. The cock or plugvalve H of the faucet has two lateral openings,h and h', arranged on opposite sides of the plug, soas to register Withthe respective openings b`l when the plug is turned with the handlethereof presenting in one or the other lateral directions. When thehandle points forward, both passage-ways b2 are sh ut off. The orices hand h both discharge into the central or discharge passage-ways H'l ofthe plug. For a double faucet, the passage-ways b2 are usually, but notnecessarily, arranged the one above the other, as shown more clearly inFig. 6. For a quadruple faucet, two more passage-ways, b3, are employed,arranged side by side about midway in a vertical direction between theopenings b, (see Fig.' 8, and dotted lines, Fig. 7 in which case anadditional plug, H', is provided, having a single side opening, h", thatconnects wi.h either passage-way b3, according as the plug is turned inthe one direction or the other.

The faucet is provided, in the usual manner, with a flange, K, andjam-.nut K', for securing the faucet to the partition D or othersupport. The barrel of the faucet is secured to the disk b by anordinary union, M. (See Fig. 6.)
